What I gathered was this: people used were all non-actors from The Bluff (Snow’s hood), and it was shot on location. But I watched Snow and director Russell polish off a flask of whiskey, a few pabsts and a forty over the course of the screening, so they were a bit too loose to answer many questions with a straight face. “Snow On The Bluff" at times seems so real that many were asking questions to separate fact from fiction during the post screening Q&A. What this movie does do is disclose to you a world that is utterly believable. It doesn’t contain a moral, there’s no denouement, no closure of any kind. As such, this movie does not hold your hand. Every aspect of this production is invested in an authentic portrayal of “the much mythologized world of the urban gangsta” (Paul Sbrizzi, Slamdance Programmer). You’ll never be too lost, as the film does a commendable job of bringing you the plot without the dialog’s help. If you’re as square a saltine as I am, you’re going to miss fully 70% of this film’s dialog – Snow and his crew speak loudly, quickly, and all on top of one another in a very difficult to decipher Atlanta ghetto slang. Atlanta gangster Curtis Snow robs some rich city folk of their camera and makes a movie about himself, his crew, and their gangster lifestyle.
